Developer Quote: "Did you know that you may be wasting a huge portion of your time learning Spanish due to inefficient learning methods? Let me tell you how you can learn FASTER with Learn Spanish - Brainscape."

Speaking one or more foreign languages is a necessity. The world has been opened to us with travel, and so people of other nationalities live in our own native countries. Additionally, we also travel for business or pleasure overseas. If you plan on travel to a Spanish speaking country for any reason, then take the time now to grab Learn Spanish - Brainscape while it is free.

What is the theory behind Brainscape's app, using Intelligent Cumulative Exposure (ICE:)

- The system of introducing concepts incrementally, at gradually increasing difficulty in the context of REAL sentences
- Repeating the tough concepts in the right intervals of time based on YOUR confidence levels
- Explaining grammatical nuances in PLAIN ENGLISH rather than hoping to simply “figure them out” through immersion.
- Building your actual sentence-forming skills from the ground up
- A program tailored by learning scientists from Columbia and Yale Universities who have spent the past TWO YEARS developing a complete, scientifically optimized Spanish curriculum

With Learn Spanish - Brainscape find the following educational and helpful language learning features on iPhone:

· A carefully tailored curriculum that builds on previous concepts and guides you from beginner to conversational at your own pace
· The equivalent of TWO YEARS' WORTH of high school Spanish classes
· Over 6,000 AUDIO flashcards for the most common Spanish words, phrases, and sentence constructions, including a BONUS section on Business Spanish
· Simple explanations for key grammatical concepts and the most common verb conjugations
· Convenient “browse” and “search” functions that allow you to easily find cards you want
· Ongoing feedback, statistics, and visualization tools to help you track your progress
· A network of thousands of other learners who support each other’s learning every day

This language app utilizes the ICE method which means Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. Use this technique to work on your sentence skills so that you can communicate effectively when you travel because a word here or there won't really help you at all! Speak your thoughts and ideas in entirety after using Learn Spanish, or the efficiency and power of your words will be lost.

COOL CONCLUSION: Use Learn Spanish - Brainscape to more efficiently infuse a foreign language into your list of accomplishments.
